Somewhere between a Shmup and a Musical Software. Music is all generative and sound design is by ... . Toshio Iwai (the guy who created electroplankton)
I haven't finished it but apparently at the end you unlock a music editor for composing your own songs.

ill count it, because this is insanely awesome.

the only downfall is the repetitive quality of all of the songs really wear on you.

This song has a special place in my heart for every moment of joy I've had playing a video game.

One of those songs that keeps you interested in the shitty gameplay.

I haven't played every NES game, but I just can't get down with NES as much as other systems when it comes to sound design.
But I'll save that for later.
good finds.

(I was going to figure out how to embed the youtube video for The Untouchables on the NES 'cause the soundtrack is wicked, but the gameplay video really wasn't doing it justice.)

The Untouchables - NES

Check out the .nsf, it's pretty good.

Knight Move has some really nice slow tracks. It uses FDS, too!

Not a legendary soundtrack overall, but a great one with more than a few classic tracks:

Geoff Follin, Wolverine-

Jeroen Tel, Robocop 3-

^The overall soundtrack is very minimal (mostly one-channel tracks?!), but the port of the title theme is great.

I like it! I was getting started on tagging an NSFE for it though, and realized there are some errors with the nsf. The triangle is messed up in several (or all?) tracks. Quickest comparison to make is track 5 in the nsf vs when you press start at the title menu. Or track 6 vs. how level 1 sounds in the rom-- it's much more staccato and percussive in-game. I'll mention this on nesdev and see if we can get a fix!
